The first T.M. Lewin store opened in Jermyn street in 1898. Yes, that’s like 118 years ago when T.M. Lewin opened it doors to the public. I couldn’t believe it when I found out through Louis the origins and history of this noble brand. Louis was the host of this exclusive in-store styling session where I was one of only five bloggers invited.

I was made to understand that some of the fabric used by T.M. lewin is made exclusively by a company in Scotland by invitation only. I have to admit that I was amazed at what I refer to as the rich history of this high street store. Continue reading T.M. Lewin – Heritage is the word→

I don’t know about you but for me 2016 is the year of great breakthrough and consolidation. It is the year of more growth and maturity with the gifts God gave me.

For starters, I fully intend to raise my style game creatively to give you all a fresh and inspired perspective of C F Him. The idea for this year is to be confident, poised and intentional with my work on all fronts.

But before I get carried away with laying out my plans for 2016, I would like to use this opportunity to reflect on and share my appreciation for my family and friends who supported me through 2015 on this journey. I am thankful to everyone of you for your contributions and encouragement in making this blog a success. In all this, there are two people I would like to say a special thank you to from the bottom of my heart, Charles (August child) and Rita (Colson Style theory) you have both been inspirational and I thank God for you. Charles your skills behind the camera are unparalleled and it is amazing how despite your busy schedule you always find time to do shoots with me. You add so much value beyond just clicking away. And yes, thanks for the countless tips on capturing the perfect image. Rita you have always been like my muse who I constantly draw inspiration from. Your creative eye and great sense of style has taught me a lot. I can always count on you for a healthy debate on my ideas and how to implement them. I sometimes feel as if I can’t put out my creative ideas unless I pass them through you first. I truly thank God for the two of you and I look forward to more amazing collaborations and most of all, a deeper friendship.

2015 was a year of sewing the right seed into C F Him and watching it grow. It has been a year that has taught me a lot In many respects this blog and all that has come with it has been a full time job, staying up all night editing photos, planning style concepts and running and updating social media like my Instagram page. The truth is that I have enjoyed every bit of it barring a a few knockbacks and reality checks which every creative person needs for validation and perspective. I thoroughly enjoy the feedback and interaction I get from you the followers. Your views inspire me to work harder and better. So here is a big thank you for your support last year. Without you, C F Him would not be where it is now

So back to 2016 , for me my plans for the year can be summed up in two words. Growth and Maturity. This year is all about pushing boundaries and limits as far as style creativity is concerned. The plan is to also travel more so I can bring you all along with me though my blog, be more fit so I can share fitness tips and immerse myself into culture to create a discuss right here. I hope you are as excited as I am as I look forward to sharing it all with you.

Before I sign out, let me describe the look in the photos. I am sure you will have noticed the unconventional nature of the dress code, which is precisely my intention. This look is not about playing safe or conforming to the rules.

The aim is to take a pinstripe business suit to create a non-business look. Just in case you missed it, I did a post on business look called That business look. In this piece I’ve changed a couple of items from that look to create a brand new look. Up-cycling at its finest and most chic..

I swapped the more formal Paul smith Loafers for a pair of military styled boots from Massimo Dutti. To highlight the boots, I rolled up my trouser slightly which removes any form of formality. With the green tie and green and white polka dot pocket square and my mustard/yellow coat I make sure I get noticed by everyone. I mean the colour is vibrant and it is a statement piece by itself. I wore this beautiful coat over my shoulders to give the look that little extra edge.

Like I said, this year is all about being bold, confident, poised and intentional and I believe this looks captures that beautifully.

Happy new year everyone. Here’s wishing you all a wonderful 2016. Please continue to share my site with your loved ones and don’t forget to subscribe to my Instagram @cutsforhim and twitter @cutsforhim accounts.

Choosing the right suit and using accessories around it shouldn’t be a rocket science when you know the basic rules of looking dapper. A business suit is by far the most important and most utilised suit for movers and shakers in the city. You only have to pop round to the squire mile or canary wharf in London during peak hours too see a sea of men donning business suits. Financial advisors, bankers, IT consultants and marketing executives all wearing business suits to look the part.

For any stylish individual, colour, fabric, and fit are just a few things to be taken into consideration when investing in a business suit. From the boardroom to a shared office space, you want to leave a great impression on the minds of those around you. Whilst most of what happens in these environments may be out of your control, how you look in that suit shouldn’t be one of them. In fact if there is one thing that should be totally in your control, it is your look. Continue reading That business look→

Grey seem to be the colour of choice for the coming season if trends spotted on catwalk shows are anything to go by. “Not too unusual for the cold weather collections you might think, but this season it’s the way it was styled from tailored to tracksuit bottoms that boosted it into trend territory: with as many other shades of grey as possible” said GQ.
